If you're looking to win, Jim Cramer thinks you should place your bets on Seattle.

Oh no, we're not talking football. We're talking stocks.

Jim Cramer believes some of the best companies to own in your portfolio either call the Emerald City home or have a deep connection to it.

For example, Cramer is a big fan of Boeing. Although the company moved its headquarter from Seattle to Chicago, its biggest factories remain in the Seattle area.

"There's a reason why Boeing was the best performing Dow stock last year, " Cramer noted. The "Mad Money" host believes Boeing remains a solid play on aerospace and the number of new planes going into service around the world.

Also Cramer is a fan of Costco, which is based in Western Washington. "Costco has delivered the best, most consistent growth of any retailer through this rough period," Cramer said.

Then there's Microsoft, a company famed for creating countless millionaires in the Seattle region.

"Microsoft put it all together with great numbers from Windows, from enterprise software, and most importantly from the Surface and the XBOX franchises. It was a truly terrific performance and I believe the stock would have been up maybe twice as much if this hadn't been such a chaotic session."

But, perhaps, of all the companies headquartered in the region, none impresses Cramer more than Starbucks.
